Milo, I understood Logwood. BTW, in case you forgot, he's writing in his second language. Do you have a second language (besides Alabamian)?

And Annastrophic, do you think we can help dear Logwood with our condescension? How about it Logwood, would you like me to speak highly of your good syntax when it ain't? I thought not. Next time take care with the English you use when you ask a question about English to English speaking adults. Good. Now what is your next question?

Seriously, I could've easily word it the way Faldage did, but anyway, people seem to have understood me just fine... so give me a break and take your condescending attitude elsewhere.

Wull … I dunno, Milo. What part didn't you understand?
He wants to know the term for rules the changing of which is not even discussed. Examples of such rules might include the banning of eating human flesh or of the mating of close relatives.
I don't think those are outlawed in Alabamia, are they?

And here was I thinking they were actually required over there. Prescribed rather than proscribed, as it were.

Ahh..."Deep South" jokes from the rusting North, from degenerate, across-the-pond England and from Max down below, who must have taken methemilum off his "ignore" list in order to grab his fair share of giggling prep school remarks.
Boys, your childish japes are as the sented gulf wind that whistles a green song in the tips of tall trees - pleasant to the ear.

Well, your local knowledge is always enlightening, Milo! btw, saying I hail from England is akin to saying you hail from Connecticut an' all ~ given the ways less civilised folk are getting bent out of shape about even less than that at the moment, I decline to get excited though. Remind me I owe you a cold beer one of these days...

Milo doesn't drink beer. He drinks PBR or something like that.
